Steve Dower added the comment:

I was thinking more like this:

if DISTUTILS_USE_SDK:
    assume PATH is configured
    execute os.getenv("CC", "cl.exe") directly
else:
    find VS in the registry
    execute "cl.exe" etc.

The only change here from the current situation is preferring the CC variable 
in the former case when it is set. When we look up VS in the registry, we know 
what executable we are going to find and overriding them via the environment is 
only going to cause issues/vulnerabilities.
